Investing passively into a syndication is a great way to get started. That’s what I’m currently doing with a property in Arizona. Great way to learn about the business when just starting out, but still being able to invest. With two kids, investing passively might be a good way to get your foot in the door without having to deal with all the work.

Take a look at Eric Upchurch. Former vet and helps veterans with investing in real estate.

Active duty passive income is his company.

From someone who is still very new to real estate at the age of 21, here are a few tips that I would recommend:

1. Read financial and real estate books. I recommend reading Robert Kiyosaki books. One real estate investor I would recommend is Rod Khleif. He has a ton of free pdf books on different parts of real estate and a great podcast called Lifetime cashflow through real estate investing.

2. Find other real estate owners/investors in your area. Build relationships and create value for them in some way

3. Find a job in the real estate industry. Property management, leasing agent, real estate agent, broker, etc. Might be a little tough at your current age but will be a good stepping stone.

4. Goes along with #3 but save money. If you have a job right now, start putting some money aside in a different account to save and eventually invest.

Always be willing to learn and get better. Real estate is not a get rich quick scheme, play the long game and you will win.

Really good real estate book - How to create Lifetime Cashflow through Multi-family properties by Rod Khleif

Reading it for the second time right now

@Ricky Vasquez

Robert Kiyosaki’s books Rich dad poor dad, cashflow quadrant, and Fake are all great. Youtube is awesome for free content as well.

Would recommend not forcing it or she might never look for help from you if needed. Like the saying goes “when the student is ready the teacher will appear.”

Good luck

Thanks for the feedback Chris! Will check the link out!

Hello everyone! Got a quick question and greatly appreciate anyone who gives some feedback.

I currently work as a Leasing agent at a college complex in NE, Iowa. I started back in May and the property manager didn’t have anything on Facebook Marketplace for the apartments. So I got in some Facebook groups around the area and posted our available apartments on there.

I get a ton of people messaging me about being interested but then I can’t ever get them to come for a tour. Have only signed a few leases through here and it’s free so feel like I shouldn’t abandon it.

A little background on the market: Main college next to has enrollment is 700+ kids down from last year so there are a ton of openings in the area. If the trend continues this way it will be hard to lease up units. The time to get these apartments leased up is now until spring.

Any suggestions that some of you have seen work on Facebook Marketplace?

Thanks!
